Our Verdict

GLORIOUS GMMK PRO

Corsair K65 PLUS WIRELESS

The GLORIOUS GMMK PRO and the Corsair K65 PLUS WIRELESS are gaming keyboards with compact (75%) form factor and similar raw gaming performance. The Corsair is a wireless model that comes stock with linear switches and has no configuration options at purchase. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS is much more configurable at purchase. You can choose from a wide range of build options, including switches and keycaps. Both keyboards also have a control knob in the top left corner, but the knob on the Corsair knob is more flexible and allows you to scroll and zoom in on content or change settings such as volume and RGB brightness.
